#FuelPricesMustFall threatens shutdown over increasing fuel prices

Newly-formed organisation People Against Petrol and Parrafin Increases (Pappi) has called on South Africans to unite in the fight against increasing fuel prices.

Speaking on POWER Talk, Pappi’s convenor, Visvin Reddy says they will intensify their protest action if government refuses to engage them.

“We will step it up, we will put our foot on the accelerator and go to the next level. We will switch all our vehicles all over the country and bring traffic to a standstill because what is happening currently is unjust and exploiting people.”

Reddy says they are currently mobilising citizens in a bid to put more pressure on government to lower fuel prices.

“If we all start to petition government, they will have to bend and buckle to our demands,” he told host Iman Rappetti.
